for "out front," tom foreman, washington. >> it's a big question. it's one after 9/11 this country had to address. now we have to address it again. "out front," matt welch, and ari fleischer. you've been in the middle of this controversy before, obviously. as we all know. 48% of people, according to "the washington post" after the boston bombings worry the government is going to too far. and 41% are afraid our government will not go far enough. if they had more ability to watch over people, they could have stopped these guys from killing and injuring these people to begin with. >> erin, there's a forever strain between liberty and security in our country. and that particularly gets tested at a time when something like boston or after september 11th. i'm reminded of one of the most beautiful sayings i ever heard at cambridge university in massachusetts. laws are the restraints that make us free, which is an amazing paradox, if you think a restraint can make us free. that's what civil society is. when times are tense and there's a security risk to our

here's cnn's tom foreman. >> reporter: they established a capture net for this suspect and enlisted the help of 4.5 million people. they figured out where they thought he would be in one of these six towns here, about 300,000 people living there. they said to everyone, lock your doors, clear the streets. they focused on watertown in particular. again, keep your doors locked. they flooded the zone with police officers and started cutting off all access in and out of this area. how did they do that? they asked 5,500 taxi drivers around boston, stay away. they shut down subways and buses, asking businesses to close. fenway park canceled the ball game. other places said, workers, don't come in, we're not going to operate today. they shut down schools, harvard, m.i.t., all shut down. beyond that they put pressure on the trains. look, you can see what's happening around watertown here. they effectively put up a capture net and started squeezing and the belief this was caught in the middle of it all. let's put this all away and zoom into where he was found. that's the real proof in this game.

cnn's tom foreman is joining us to give us a virtual tour of this prison facility. what's it like, tom? >> hi, wolf. as you point out, geographically it's only about 40 miles outside of boston, the devens facility. run by the bureau of prisons. half a dozen buildings, as many federal facilities are. a spartan affair. this is the perimeter around it here. not a huge amount of overwhelming security as you would expect in one of the supermax facilities. nonetheless, this is the basics of the place. there are about 1,000 patients here. we use the word patients in particular, because the point here is this offers care to inmates who have long-term or chronic medical conditions. that's a fundamental reason for it. it is an all-male facility. there have been some famous inmates there, for example john fransase, both men involved in mob crimes. raj rajaratnam who was involved in a ponzi scheme. a library there, where at most an inmate can have five guests at a time. closely monitored. they can come between 8:30 in the morning and will later in the afternoon. again, the fund

thanks very much, tom foreman. i talked about this a little while ago with the republican congressman mike rogers. have they crossed that so-called red line, the game changer the president has suggested, by now the intelligence community believing that some varying degrees of credibility that they have in fact, the syrian regime, used sarin gas, chemical weapons against the rebels? >> well, if you look at the body of intelligence over the last two years, wolf, i think it is fairly indisputable at this point that some quantity of chemical weapons has been used. now the brits have said it, the israelis have said it, the french have said it, and now the white house and the secretary of defense has acknowledged they think chemical weapons have been used. it's hard to make the statement on august 20th, that if they move weapons in a position to be used, or use them it would be a game changer, or red line, you know, i argue that if you're going to have credibility in the world, and that's important in a more destabilized
